Altinkum, Bodrum Region

Mr A Cross, Leeds

Clean with decent food and nice snacks outside during the day. Only negative was on arrival, they did not allow us to have any food until 12.30 then on departure they did not want us to use the facilities or meals after 11:00hrs.

Very good value for money. Rooms could do with refurbishment. Staff were very polite. Food was fantastic, massive selection and so fresh.

Mr S Brown, Durham

Absolutely fabulous, embrace the Turkish culture and their ways and your holiday is made. Only 4-5 English families but 4 that we met were great. No larey English load foul mouthed drinking or spoilt English brats. Only one English family was complaining because they found that in Turkey it was Turkish speaking and Turkish food; hope they enjoy Brighton or Scarborough next time!

The rest were just good families from around the world, who nearly all spoke English when they were approached correctly. Food was vast, 20 choices each night at least, there was always something to eat for everyone including my picky daughter. The hotel was immaculately clean, the staff could not do enough for you, especially the waiters, cleaners and chambermaids. The entertainment including the Turkish music was all free and enjoyable supported by an energetic entertainment team.

I would not recommend this to anyone who wants the drinking, partying holiday similar to that encountered in Spain. But I would highly recommend it to any and all families who are looking for the break and more down to earth parties and entertainment.

It was good. We were there last year and saw big difference, not as good. We will not return.

Mrs A Metcalf, Rhyl

Would recommend hotel. Has all facilities but would advise them to have a receptionist who can understand some English.

Mr M Hibbs, Caerphilly

All very good but food not to my taste.

Mr S Eason, Mansfield

Miss A Stonehouse, Leeds

Hotel was good, however, the food was not too good and had to eat out most days.

Mr C Horn, Keighley

The food was the same every day, ok if you were a rabbit. We ended up eating out a lot of the time, along with many many more people. Our room was lovely, it was a 2 bedroom which was massive. The maids were fantastic. It was supposed to be all inclusive but you had to pay for ice creams and the alcohol was 1 per person. If you asked for a beer it was in a small glass, coke, lemonade was in a short glass which was half full. There was so many complaints that on one day a lot of reps were coming to investigate. The pools were lovely but the adult only pool didn't have just adults in which was not a problem for us. Good range of slides. The sea was wonderful but not much of a beach. Plenty of sunbeds there if you can get down there early enough. We saw people putting towels on beds around the pool at 1 in the morning. The entertainment team were fabulous, they roped everyone in. They could not do enough for you. The hotel is just outside of the main resort, just a short walk from town which was lovely and quiet and the views from our balcony were excellent. The mini bar in our room had plenty in but remember that it's not free. There was an amphitheatre where you went to watch a show at 10.00 at night which was great. No bar there though and when it had finished the all inclusive had also ended and you had to pay for your drinks. We think that all the alcohol drinks had been watered down a lot, my husband had a vodka with ice, you could have thought it was water. We won't be going there again. We made the most of it and we still had a good time. I don't usually have a moan but I feel that people should know before booking this hotel.

Miss L Walker, Batley

Absolutely amazing hotel, delicious food! Lots to do, friendly staff. Turkish managers are always happy to help. Lovely rooms. This hotel is definitely 5 star and you certainly get more for your money.

Mr B Ingram, Market Harborough

Room was a little on the small side for two adults. I booked with my daughter so wanted a room with 2 single beds but had a double. Other than that room was adequate, clean and relatively quiet although the walls are not particularly soundproof.

The pools were very good but it is a shame they do not enforce their poolside rules. The relax pool is in a lovely secluded position and supposedly for adults only (no children) but seldom was this the case. Also, the sun loungers were regularly draped in towels well before the 8am allotted time slot.

I found the food very good. A good selection of fresh produce and variety of local dishes, fish, chicken, lamb etc. If you are looking for English cooking then you really need to be taking your holidays somewhere else. The entertainment team are very good (attitude, personalities, friendliness etc) albeit they have a very poor selection of shows.

Access to the main town of Altinkum is relatively good. A 20 minute walk that was easy enough for me but might be a bit of a chore for families with young children but there are regular mini-buses running that you can hail from outside of the hotel and only cost 2TL per person.

Mrs G Bradley, Solihull

Fantastic hotel. Animation team worked so hard to keep people of all ages entertained throughout the whole day with poolside activities eg water polo, darts, aqua aerobics and again at night in the ampitheatre. Also quieter pools if daytime entertainment not your thing. My children are 17 and 12. Food was of a good standard and there was plenty of it at all hours of the day and night. Seaview room for us was a must and didn't disappoint. Had a wonderful time.

Mr T Keepe, Salford

It was a very nice hotel, we will go back there. The room was very nice.
